Are the new icons for the files created by OOo 3.2.1 simply
confusing. For example I have some .doc files sent by fiends and the
icon clearly shows the letters ODF on the icon. Should that not be OOo?
Thanks

Hi Rob, All.
No it is not a bug. In its great wisdom Oracle has decided that ODF
is more important than OO.o. It has been argued over in the UX
mailing list.

Actually it is a bug. A .doc file is not an ODF file and the ODF icon
should not appear on a .doc file. On my Mac a .doc file has a plain
white icon with a folded corner.
It seems that the ODF cabal, in its great wisdom, overlooked the fact
that MS Window is going to use its icon for .doc files when OOo is set
as the default application for them. There desire to promote the ODF
format (which I support) overwhelms the practical implications of their
autocratic imposition of the ODF icons on the OOo community.
